When it comes to stuff like this, i'm much better at understanding than explaining to someone about them.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

This years World juniors will be the most watched television in history from start to finish.

An interesting read on the woes to keep goals against down.

Given I want Petey to be used to his strengths & Bo to a degree as well it leaves Gaudette to be a better 3C. He needs to really up his 200’ 2-way game or at least the wingers to do so. Motte could be worth a try along with Hoglander. So here goes...

Miller Petey JV
Pearson Bo Boeser
Hoglander Motte Gaudette
Roussel Beagle MacEwen/Sutter

Assuming Ferland goes on LTIR

Motte as a 3lc is about a horrible idea as anyone could think up

Brandon Sutter was in the rink here yesterday wit the pros...he said the players will not do another bubble.

If true, I hope we figure out a way for our prospects in the AHL to play overseas. Lots of development lost already for them.

The players may not have a choice, the NHL can scale back 100% of their wages if there is no season.

Poor defensive winger used as a shut down center. What could go wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

They have been talking about adding scoring for how many years now. We want more scoring, need more scoring. So lets create a line up that pins itself into it's own zone. That worked really well against Vegas.

Really?

I questioned your fanboyism and prediction Pod slots into the top 6 when Pearson goes, you leg humper.
- VanHockeyGuy

Yeah really. You advocate Podz needs to play in the AHL first. He's coming over and will first get his start in the Canucks 3/4 lines.

But do you understand the flat cap realities? Canucks will have to replace UFA's like Pearson with ELC's. The Canucks top prospect is Podz.

Do the math and stop bongwater bathsalt guzzling. So as to understand, what is realistic is not leg humping because you don't like it.

Motte isn't a 3rd liner but as 4th liners go, he's a great defensive player.

There is countless literature covering Motte’s defensive deficiencies. Try google. I like Motte but defence is not his strength

Easy enough to say I guess. So how do you fix the 3rd line & not have it insulated to the high degree it was?

Starts with you being wrong he was poor defensively. I also ask you what your 3rd line would look like?

The last 3rd line was a success on what level? Gaudette hardly played.

I think you should be the one to do a little research. Not only is he considered one of the most defensively responsible forwards on the team by the coaching staff, but the stats back that up. Not to mention the fact that his PK metrics are fantastic especially when compared to some of his teammates.
